Libertarian Party candidate for US President Chase Oliver forced a runoff election in Georgia in 2022, is a former Democrat, loves guns, hates taxes, was disappointed in Obama, is the first openly gay presidential candidate on most ballots, is dyslexic and dysgraphic, likes audiobooks, would like to weaken the office of President, will be 39 in August, wants government out of education (and pretty much everything else), supports the harm reduction model of addition management, implies the free market will solve everything, and sounds like a politician. Cori earnestly tries to convince Oliver of the problems of medicalizing “trans kids”; Nina pleads for protections for individuals and asks if Pacifism is a luxury belief; and our interview is briefly interrupted by a power outage.

This is the first in our series of Heterodorx Interviews With US Presidential Candidates. We’re waiting for the Trump and Biden campaigns to get in touch so we can finish.
